Note. — Above   ICO   other  varieties  of

1  QO\kinds  are  desired. 


SINGLE  HYACINTHS. 

In  regard  to  Single  Hyacinths  an  incorr-^ct  prejudice  exists,  arising  from  the 
fact  that  their  p -culiar  merits  are  but  little  known.  For  early  floicering,  and 
particularly  lor  g'rtsjcs  or  ;)o/.s,  they  are  extremely  desirable:  tKev  conibiiie  the 
niost  briliiiint  rriours,  and  surpass  the  double  vaiieties  in  the  profusion  of  their 
bells  It  may  m  fact  be  said  that  they  precede  the  double  varieties,  and  thus  in 
a  general  collection  extend  the  period  during  whith  we  may  enjoy  the  beauties 
and  fragrance  of  this  delightful  class  of  flowers.

PEONIES— Pivomes. 
No  class  of  flowers  has  lately  attracted  more  attention  in  Europe  than  this,  a 
menograph  of  which  has  been  published  in  London.  Everj^  variety  will  sup- 
port the  winters  of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  Most  of  the  varieties  are 
extremely  splendid,  and  others  possess  striking  peculiarities.  Anticipating  that 
a  similar  taste  would  be  evinced  in  this  country,  the  proprietors  have,  by  great 
exertion  obtained  every  variety  possible.

PRINCES' 
SELECT   CATALOGUE 

OF    THE 

MOST  SPLE^OfO  SOOBLE  DAHLIAS, 


This  magnificent  plant  bids  fair  to  rival  in  splendor  and  in  diversity  the  far- 
famed  Tulip  and  the  Rose.  Many  of  the  varieties  are  inconceivably  beautiful 
and  interesting,  and  there  seems  a  never-ending  variation  of  color  and  form. 

The  numerous  varieties  combine  the  richest  shades  and  most  varied  hues  of 
which  nature  is  susceptible,  with  every  diversity  in  shape  and  magnitude,  from 
the  size  of  a  small  globe  an  inch  and  a  half  in  diameter,  to  an  expanded  disk 
twenty-four  inches  in  circumference  !  Most  persons  are  not  aware  how  simple 
are  the  means  necessary  to  their  preservation  during  winter.  When  the  frost 
has  destroyed  the  foliage,  nothing  more  is  required  than  to  cut  off  the  stalks  two 
or  three  inches  from  the  ground,  and  to  take  up  the  roots  and  put  them  in  boxes 
of  dry  sand  in  a  cellar  or  any  other  place  free  from  frost,  there  to  remain  until 
spring,  without  further  care.  Indeed,  the  Proprietors  have,  for  the  five  past 
winters,  kept  their  stock  quite  dry  and  without  sand. 

The  coUectioii  here  offered  is  unrivalled  in  extent  and  beauty,  and  combines 
the  most  magnificent  varieties  of  each  class;  it  being  a  concentration  of  the 
most  choice  and  interesting  that  could  be  selected  from  the  principal  establish- 
ments of  Europe.  The  most  of  them  have  taken  premiums  at  the  Floral  Exhi- 
bitions in  Europe,  and  many  of  them  were  imported  at  a  cost  of  one  to  five 
Guineas  each,  and  very  many  at  half  a  Guinea  each.  It  will  be  perceived  that 
the  catalogue  is  particularly  rich  in  the  splendid  Variegated,  Striped,  Mottled, 
and  Shaded  varieties,  and  others  of  the  first  class,  and  most  vivid  and  brilliant 
colors. 

Of  the  older  kinds  above  400  varieties  are  in  our  collection,  but  which  have 
been  omitted,  from  a  desire  to  combine  in  the  present  catalogue,  only  the  most 
select  and  to  curtail  its  extent. 

In  addition  to  the  usual  course  of  obtaining  the  newest  kinds  offered  for  sale 
in  the  catalogues  of  foreign  Florists,  the  proprietor  has  made  arrangements  with 
several  amateurs  abroad  to  furnish  him  with  their  most  interesting  varieties 
previous  to  their  '' coming  out'"  in  Europe  ;  and  it  is  to  this  arrangement  that  he 
13  indebted  for  a  large  number  of  the  very  splendid  varieties  comprised  in  his 
catalogues  of  the  last  and  present  year,  although  obtainable  nov/here  else  in  our 
country.  The  present  collection  may  with  justice,  therefore,  be  said  to  consti- 
tute the  acme  to  which  this  favorite  flower  has  yet  attained.  Other  new  varieties 
are  continually  accumulating,  and  Supplementary  Catalogues,  containing  the 
additional  kinds,  will  be  published  in  March  and  October  of  each  year. 

Specimen  beds  containmg  many  thousands  of  plants  comprising  two  acres,  are 
annually  planed  for  the  inspection  of  amateurs,  which  will  be  extended  by  addi- 
tions of  all  the  most  choice  new  varieties  that  foreign  countries  and  our  own  may 
present,  thereby  affording  ample  facilities  for  personal  examination  and  selection, 
to  those  who  desire  it. 

A  large  stock  will  be  regularly  cultivated  in  pots,  so  as  to  be  ready  for  trans- 
portation at  any  period  desired,  and  more  than  10,000  drv  roots  and  plants  in  pots 
can  be  delivered  the  present  season.  The  dry  roots  can  be  supplied  immediately, 
and  will  be  packed  so  as  to  ensure  success. 

The  plants  m  pots  can  be  delivered  after  the  15th  April,  and  can  be  trans- 
planted successfully  until  the  beginning  of  July,  but  they  should  not  be  planted 
until  all  frosts  have  subsided  and  the  earth  has  attained  a  genial  warmth- 
It  may  be  asserted  without  fear  of  contradiction,  that  at  no  period  since  the 
^a  of  the  famed  Tulipo-mania,  has  the  attention  of  the  votaries  of  Flora  beea

»o  univerpallv  devoted  to  any  flower  as  it  now  is  to  the  Dahlia,  the  "  Glory  of  the 
Autumn."  To  the  varieties  first  cultivated,  the  objection  was  justly  made  that 
the  expansion  of  their  flowers  commenced  too  late  in  the  season  to  merit  much 
estimation,  but  culture  and  judicious  propagation  have  removed  this  difficulty  as 
regards  the  new  varieties.  These  commence  blooming  the  middle  of  June,  and 
continue  until  arrested  by  frost,  our  fine  American  autumn  being  particularly 
favorable  to  their  development.  The  new  varieties  produce  also  a  much  greater 
profusion  of  flowers  than  the  older  sorts. 

Kivalling  a.s  they  do  all  other  plants  of  the  garden  in  their  majestic  appearance 
and  gorgeous  display,  they  also  combine  the  merit  of  facility  of  culture  to  such  a 
degree,  that  the  most  ignorant  can  scarcely  fail  of  success ;  and,  indeed,  the  day 
is  not  tlistant,  when  the  number  of  viineties  will  surpass  that  of  either  the 
Hyacinth,  the  Tulip,  the  Rose,  or  the  Carnation,  and  the  numerous  Striped, 
Variegated,  and  Mottled  Dahlias,  will  then  be  designated  under  the  various 
classes  of  Flakes,  Bizarres,  &c.,  in  the  same  manner  as  the  Carnation  ;  the 
connoiscpurs,  without  doubt,  becoming  quite  as  fastidious  in  regard  to  the  form- 
ation of  the  petals,  as  they  now  are  in  respect  to  the  last  named  flower. 

A  discount  will  be  made  to  those  who  purchase  largely,  and  to  Nurseries  and 
other  venders  as  stated  at  the  latter  part  of  the  present  Catalogue,  and  it  will 
also  be  perceived  that  the  prices  are  much  lower  than  usually  charged,  the  great 
and  increasing  stock  enabling  us  to  offer  them  on  these  favorable  terms,  and 
also  to  select  superior  roots.  The  rates  for  assortments  of  Dahlias  will  be  found 
at  the  end  of  the  Catalogue. 

It  seems  scarcely  necessary  here  to  add,  that  the  deceptive  practice  of  ingraft- 
ing the  double  varieties  on  roots  of  the  single  kinds,  is  never  prac.iced  by  us. 

Where  the  selection  is  left  to  us,  such  an  assortment  will  he  selected  as  will 
form  a  pleasing  combination  of  color,  form,  height,  &c.  When  packed  dry, 
which  can  be  done  from  October  to  May,  they  occupy  so  liitle  space,  that  a 
great  number  may  be  ccmprieed  in  a  sm-all  compass,  and  they  can  be  thus  safely 
transported  to  any  distance.  During  ihe  residue  of  the  year  they  can  be  trans- 
ported in  pots,  or  by  enveloping  the  roots  in  moss,  and  packing  tliem  properly  in 
accordance  with  the  dittance,  &c. 

All  orders  are  to  he  addressed  to  Wm.  R.  Prince,  Flushins;. 
JYew-York,  and  no  other  j^erson  in  this  town  is  authorized  to 
receive  any  orders  for  this  Establishment.

Directions  for  the  Culture  of  Bulbous  and  Tuberous  Roots. 

SitiMtion. — A  southern  aspect,  dry  and  airy,  and  sheltered  from  the  north 
winds,  is  preferable  for  moet  bulbs  ;  but  Anemones  and  Ranunculuses  will  do 
better  in  a  situation  commanding  a  southern  aspect,  and  which  can  be  protected 
from  the  heat  of  noonday. 

Soil. — The  following  compost  is  most  suitable  for  the  Hyacinth, Tulip,  Crown 
Imperial,  Narcissus,  Crocus,  Snow  Flake,  Iris,  Lily,  Colchicum,  Anemone, 
Ranunculus,  Snow  Drop,  and  most  other  bulbs  :— One-third  sand,  one-third  well- 
rooted  cow'dung,  and  one-third  good  garden  mould.  Let  the  beds  thus  formed 
be  well  dug  over  to  the  depth  of  fifteen  or  eighteen  inches,  that  the  materials  be 
"Well  mixed  together  ;  a  fourth  part  of  rotten  wood,  or  vegetable  mould  from  a 
ewamp,  may  be  added  to  the  above,  if  conveniently  to  be  obtained,  which  will, 
at  all  times,  be  beneficial  in  giving  additional  lightness  to  the  soil. 

The  various  species  of  the  Amaryllis  succeed  best  in  a  rich  sandy  loani ;  and 
tlie  families  of  the  Ixia,  Oxalis,  Feraria,  Gladiolus,  Antholy/a,  Lachenalia,  and 
most  other  Cape  and  Tropical  bulbs,  require  the  soil  to  be  more  sandy  than  for 
the  generality  of  other  bulbs. 

Forming  the  Beds —The  beds  should  be  raised  about  four  inches  above  the 
level  of  the  walks,  and  moderately  arched,  which  will  afi'ord  an  opportunity  for 
the  superfluous  moisture  to  run  off.  Sand  (either  sea  or  fresh)  strewed  in  the 
trenches,  before  and  after  placing  the  roots,  will  be  beneficial. 


^ime  of  Planting.— Y ox  the  Hyacinth,  Tulip,  Crown  Imperial,  Squill,  Lily, 
Polyanthus  Narcissus,  Double  Narcissus,  Jonquil,  Iris,  Crocus,  Colchicum,  Star 
of  Bethlehem,  Snow  Drop,  Snow  Flake,  Gladiolus,  Allium,  and  most  other 
hardy  bulbs,  the  preferable  season  for  planting  is  the  months  of  October  and 
November — and  it  is  well  to  be  observed,  that  the  species  of  bulbs  above  named, 
(Tulips  excepted,)  will  thrive  best  if  not  taken  from  the  ground  oftener  than 
every  second  or  third  year.  The  different  species  of  the  Feraria,  Antholyza,  Ixia, 
Crinum,  Heemanthus,  Eucomis,  the  tender  species  of  Amaryllis,  Pancratium,  ana 
Gladiolus,  and  most  other  delicate  bulbs,  may  be  planted  during  the  months  of 
November  and  December,  in  pots,  when  intended  to  be  sheltered  during  the 
winter,  or  they  can  be  kept  in  dry  sand  until  April  or  May,  and  then  be  planted 
in  pots,  or  in  the  open  ground,  when  it  has  become  free  from  frost,  and  perfectly 
settled. 

Depth  and  Distance. — Hyacinths,  Persian  Fritillary,  Martagon,  and  other  Lilies, 
and  Pasonies,  should  be  planted  at  the  depth  of  four  inches  ;  Crown  Imperials 
and  Polyanthus  Narcissus,  five  inches  ;  Tulips,  Double  and  Single  Narcissus, 
Jonquils,  Colchicums,  Snow  Flakes,  Bulbous  Iris,  and  Gladiolus,  three  inches; 
Crocus,  Arums,  Small  Fritillaries,  and  Snow  Drops,  two  inches;  Ranunculus 
and  Anemone,  one  and  a  half  inches ;  Dogstooth  Violet,  one  inch  ;  always 
measuring  from  the  top  of  the  bulb.  The  rows  should  be  ten  inches  apart,  and 
the  roots  be  placed  from  four  to  six  inches  apart  m  rows,  according  to  their  size. 

Protection  during  Winter — In  the  Zxliddle  and  Northern  States,  it  will  on  the 
approach  of  winter,  be  beneficial,  though  not  absolutely  necessary,  to  cover  the 
beds  with  straw,  tanners'  bark,  withered  leaves,  or  light  earth  from  the  woods, 
(such  as  is  formed  by  the  decay  of  foliage.)  to  the  depth  of  two  or  three  inches, 
as  it  prevents  any  ill  effects  which  a  very  severe  season  might  have  upon  the 
roots.  This  covering  must  be  carefully  raked  off'  early  in  the  spring.  The 
Polyanthus  Narcissus,  Hoop  Petticoat  iNarcissus,  and  Arum  Dracunculus,  being 
more  tender  than  other  species,  require  a  covering  of  five  or  six  inches  of  stiaw 
or  leaves  in  the  manner  above  detailed. 

Taking  up  Bidbs  after  Flmoei-ing. — About  a  month  after  the  bloom  is  passed, 
the  foliage  puts  on  a  yellow  decayed  appearance.  This  is  the  proper  season  for 
taking  up  the  roots  ;  on  doing  which,  the  stem  and  foliage  should  be  cut  off 
within  an  inch  of  the  bulb,  leaving  the  fibrous  roots  attached  to  it.  After  this 
preparation,  spread  them  singly  in  an  airy  room  to  dry,  for  two  or  three  weeks, 
then  wrap  each  root  carefully  in  paper,  (the  air  being  injurious,)  or  put  them  in 
dry  sand,  until  replanted. 

Ammone  and  Ranuncidus. — The  soil  should  be  compact  and  rich,  not  light  or 
sandy.  A  stiff  loamy  soil  suits  them  very  well  ;  and  with  it  there  should  be 
mixed  one  fourth  part  of  rotten  manure,  and,  in  doing  this,  the  earth  ought  to  be 
well  pulverized.  In  England  they  are  planted  about  the  1(Hh  of  February;  and 
here  they  may  with  succe.?s  be  planted  as  early  in  the  spring  as  the  ground  can 
be  worked.  We  have  had  them  to  succeed  well  when  planted  at  the  end  of 
October,  or  early  in  November,  and  protected  during  the  winter  with  a  covering 
of  straw  or  leaves,  which  was  removed  early  in  the  spring.  They  will  bear  a 
con.siderable  degree  of  cold,  but  our  intense  frosts  destroy  them  when  not 
protected  as  above.  They  require  a  moist  soil,  but  not  over  much  so.  Heavy 
rains  injure  and  rot  them  ;  and  the  ground  selected  should  be  such  as  does  not 
retain  water  and  become  sodden.  In  dry  Wf^ather,  they  will  require  frequent 
waterings.  When  the  roots  are  taken  up  after  blooming,  they  should  be  pre- 
served in  dry  sand  till  replanted. 

Culture  of  Tender  Bulbs  in  vols,  comprising  the  Oxalis,  Laclienalia,  Jxia, 
Gladiolus,  Antholyza,  etc.  etc. — The  management  of  these  is  extremely  simple 
They  should  have  as  much  light,  sun,  and  air,  as  possible,  and  be  kept  free  fj  .ai 
frost.  When  the  foliage  is  past,  and  the  roots  consequently  in  a  dormant  state, 
they  can  be  either  left  in  the  pots,  in  a  dry  situation,  witnout  watering,  or  be 
taken  out  and  wrapped  in  paper,  or  packed  in  sand  till  the  ensuing  season,  at 
which  period  they  should  be  repotted  in  fresh  soil,  composed  as  already  detailed. 

Cull ure  of  the  Amaryllis  and  Tuberose. — The  Amaryllis  longifolia,  (both  rose 
colored  and  white.)   is  extremely  niagnificent,  and  will  sup|}or£  our  winters  by 

Elantlng  the  roots  at  the  depth  of  six  inches  from  the  extremity  of  the  neck  of  the 
'lib.  A  southern  exposure  is  much  to  be  preferred,  the  warmer  the  better. 
They  will  also  flourish  admirably  if  planted  in  a  pond  below  the  point  of  congela- 
tion. The  Amaryllis  Formosi-Bsima,  vitata,  aurea,  belladona,  equestiis,  double 
and  single  ;  reginae,  psittacina,  Johnsoni,  gigantea,  ignescens,  and  all  the  other 
spring,  summer,  and  autumn  flowering  species  may,  if  preferred,  be  preserved

.during  winter  in  boxes  of  dry  sand,  and  planted  out  in  the  open  garden  at  the 
-end  of  April,  or  beginning  of  Mayj  in  a  rich  sandy  loam,  where  they  will  blocm 
with  the  utmost  splendor.  The  difierent  species  of  Zephyranthes,  Crinum,  and 
Pancratium,  will  succeed  admirably  by  the  same  course  of  culture.  In  planting 
the  above-named  roots,  place  the  bulb  so  that  one-third  of  its  diameter  will  be 
above  the  surface  of  the  ground.  This  is  to  apply  to  all,  except  the  Amaryllis 
Formossissima  or  Jacobean  Lily,  which  should  have  the  bulb  covered,  leaving 
the  neck  only  to  project  above  the  surface  of  the  ground.  Tuberoses,  and  the 
Feraria  tygridia,  or  Tiger  flower,  should  be  planted  at  the  depth  of  one  inch,  the 
numerous  oftsets  on  the  former  being  first  broken  oflfto  prevent  their  impoverish- 
ing the  main  root  and  arresting  the  bloom.  The  double  and  striped  leaved 
Tuberoses  are  greatly  admired  ;  the  latter  of  these,  and  the  Common  Single 
flowering,  are  more  certain  in  their  bloom  than  the  double  variety.  The  species 
oi  Feraria  are  exceedingly  beautiful,  and  therefore  much  admired. 

Hyacinths  and  other  Bulbs  in  pots  or  glasses  fw  winter  blooming. — For  this 
purpose  Single  Hyacinths,  and  those  designated  as  earliest  among  the  double, 
are  to  be  preferred.  The  Polyanthus  Narcissus,  Italian,  or  Roman  Narcissus, 
Double  Narcissus,  Double  and  Single  .Jonquils,  Persian  Iris,  Crocus,  the  winter 
and  spring  flowering  varieties  of  the  Cyclamen,  and  the  Double  and  Single  Duke 
van  Thol  Tulips,  make  also  a  fine  appearance  during  the  winter  season.  Bulbs 
intended  for  blooming  in  pots  during  the  winter,  should  be  planted  during  the 
months  of  October  and  November,  and  left  exposed  to  the  open  air  until  the 
ground  begins  to  freeze,  when  they  should  be  removed  to  the  Greenhouse  or  to 
a  warm  room.  They  will  need  occasionally  moderate  waterings  before  they 
begin  to  vegetate,  and  when  they  attain  to  a  growing  state  should  receive  a 
plentiful  supply  by  pouring  it  into  the  saucers.  They  should  at  all  times  be 
exposed  as  much  as  possible  to  the  sun,  air,  and  light,  to  prevent  their  foliage 
from  growing  too  long,  or  becoming  of  a  yellow  hue.  Bulbs  cultivated  after 
.this  manner  will  mostly  bloom  in  January,  and  next  to  the  Hyacinth,  the 
Polyanthus  Narcissus,  and  Double  Italian,  or  Roman  Narcissus,  may  be  ranked 
among  the  most  desirable  for  beauty,  fragrance,  and  easy  culture. 

Those  intended  for  glasses  should  be  placed  in  them  about  the  middle  of 
November,  the  glasses  being  previously  filled  with  pure  water,  so  that  the  bottom 
.of  the  bulb  may  just  touch  the  water ;  then  place  them  for  the  first  ten  days  in 
a  dark  room,  to  promote  the  shooting  of  the  roots,  after  which  expose  them  to 
Jhe  sun  and  light  as  much  as  possible.  They  will  bloom,  however,  with  little 
or  no  sun,  but  the  flowers  will  be  inferior' in  color.  The  water  should  be 
changed  as  often  as  it  becomes  impure,  at  which  period  the  roots  ought  to  be 
•drawn  entirely  out  of  the  glasses  and  rinsed  in  clean  water,  the  glasses  being  at 
the  same  time  well  washed  inside.  Rain  or  soft  water  is  preferable  to  that 
termed  hard,  but  either  will  answer  the  f)uiposfc,  provided  it  be  perfectly  clear. 
Bulbs  that  have  been  forced  are  of  but  little  value,  and  require  a  considerable 
period  to  regain  their  natural  vigor.  When  removed  from  the  pots  or  glasses, 
they  should  be  immersed  in  water  for  a  week,  and  then  planted  in  a  soil  properly 
prepared,  where  they  will  usually  commence  flowering  cgain  the  second  year. 

Dahlia,  or  Geor^ina. — Few  of  our  most  rustic  plants  exact  less  care  than  this 
splendid  native  ot  Mexico.  Indeed,  so  simple  is  its  culture,  that  it  is  already 
widely  disseminated  in  every  part  of  Europe,  as  well  as  in  the  West  Indies, 
.South  America,  &c.,  in  all  of  which  it  has  been  found  to  succeed.  It  will  thrive 
in  any  good  soil,  but  as  is  the  case  with  other  plants  held  in  great  estimation, 
amateurs  bestow  more  care  on  its  culture  than  is  absolutely  required,  and  have 
adopted  particular  rules  for  that  object.  The  roots  are  tuberous,  and  t<wards 
the  last  (H  April  they  begin  to  push  out  young  shoots  at  the  base  of  the  stem  of 
the  previous  year.  At  this  period,  or  in  May^  they  should  be  planted  ;  they  will, 
however,  succeed  perfectly  well  if  this  is  deferred  till  June,  but  will  not  come  sp 
soon  into  flowering.  In  England  they  usually,  from  choice,  plant  the  Dahlia  in 
poor,  gravelly  soil,  in  order  to  render  it  more  dwarf  in  stature,  and  this  course 
may  have  its  advantage  in  a  humid  atmosphere.  In  our  own  country,  however, 
where  the  heat  of  summer  is  excessive,  and  where  we  are  sometimes  visited  by 
severe  drought,  the  Dahlia  would  often  be  absolutely  blighted,  unless  the  soil 
were  sufficiently  rich  and  retentive  of  mni.'-ture.  \Vhen  planted  in  a  generous 
soil,  our  climate  is  so  extremely  congenial  to  its  habits,  that  it  expands  with  the 
utmost  luxuriance,  attaining  a  degree  of  beauty  in  its  development,  if  not 
Uiiequalled,  at  least  not  to  be  surpassed. 

The  course  we  have  adopted  for  its  culture,  although  extremely  simple,  has 
been  einiuently  successful,  and  the  directions  we  shall  now  give  are  in  accordance 
therewith-    Make  the  ground  tnellow  to  the  depth  of  eighteen  inches,  digging  in 


31 

at  the  same  time  a  liberal  supply  of  manure.  Plant  the  dwarf  kinda  at  three,  and 
the  tall  ones  at  four  feet  distant ;  and  before  placing  the  roots,  dig  in  a  shovel  full 
of  manure  at  the  top  of  each  hole  destined  to  receive  them.  The  root  should  be 
placed  two  inches  beneath  the  surface — measuring  from  the  base  of  the  old  stem. 
Most  persons  allow  but  one  stalk  to  grow,  and  of  course  select  the  strongest — 
cutting  away  the  weaker  ones  "When  planted  along  a  walk  or  avenue,  a  triple 
range  presents  a  very  beautiful  appearance,  the  most  dwarf  being  selected  for  the 
first  row,  those  of  greater  stature  for  the  second,  and  the  tallest  for  the  third  row- 
indeed  this  manner  of  arrangement  may  be  extended  to  five  or  six  rows.  Another 
mode  is  to  plant  them  in  clumps,  either  circular,  square,  or  as  the  taste  may 
suggest,  the  tallest  varieties  being  selected  for  the  centre.  In  either  of  these 
arrangements,  a  judicious  selection  of  the  various  colors  is  requisite,  in  order  to 
unite  to  their  brilliant  display,  the  advantage  of  a  a  tasteful  combination. 

When  the  plants  are  about  a  foot  high,  a  P9le  should  be  placed  by  each, 
proportioned  to  the  usual  height  it  attains,  which  should  be  driven  into  the 
ground  about  a  foot  from  the  stalk,  so  as  not  to  interfere  with  the  roots.  The 
poles  or  stakes  will  necessarily  vary  from  three  to  eight  teet  in  height  above  the 
surface  ;  and  to  be  firmly  placed,  should  penetrate  the  ground  from  twelve  to 
eighteen  inches.  Those 'for  the  taller  plants  will  require  of  course  to  be  of 
greater  thickness  and  strength  than  such  as  are  designed  for  the  more  dwarf 
varieties.  The  work  of  driving  the  poles  may  be  more  easily  eflected  imme- 
diately after  a  rain,  when  the  ground  is  moist. 

As  the  plants  advance  in  growth,  it  will  become  necessary  to  tie  the  stalks 
firmly  to  the  poles  to  guard  against  the  efiects  of  winds  and  storms.  For  this 
purpose,  common  bass  matting,  or  any  other  soft  ligature  is  to  be  preferred.  The 
branches  being  extremely  brittle,  are  subject  to  be  broken  in  severe  gales  when 
not  supported.  tSome  persons  train  their  Dahlias  on  a  trellis,  which  afibrds 
security  to  every  branch,  and  presents  at  the  same  time  a  fine  effect.  It  is  only 
in  very  exposed  situations  that  the  extreme  caution  is  required  of  tying  every 
branch ;  and  in  cities  and  in  other  well  sheltered  locations,  far  less  care  will 
suffice  in  this  respect.  It  is  deemed  beneficial  to  trim  ofl'  the  lateral  shoots 
nearest  the  ground,  to  a  certain  height  in  proportion  to  the  growth  of  the  plant ; 
say  for  dwarfs  twelve  inches,  and  for  other  varieties  eighteen,  increasing  to 
twenty-four  inches  for  the  tallest.  Some  cultivators  thin  out  about  half  the 
number  of  upper  branches,  in  order  to  add  to  the  strength  of  the  remaining  ones, 
and  to  increase  the  size  and  beauty  of  the  flowers. 

Wintering  Dahlias. — Our  practice  is  exceedingly  simple.  As  soon  as  the  frost 
has  killed  the  tops,  we  cut  them  ofl',  and  take  up  the  roots,  and  dry  them  for  two 
or  three  days  in  the  sun,  after  which  we  place  them  on  the  shelves  in  a  cellar, 
perfectly  dry  and  free  from  frost,  where  they  remain  until  the  period  for  spring 
planting.  Moisture  is  destructive  to  them,  and  in  a  damp  cellar  or  room  they  are 
very  liable  to  rot ;  but  in  a  dry  one  not  a  single  root  will  be  injured,  if  it  is  kept 
free  from  frost. 

The  following  method  to  preserve  Dahlias  through  the  winter,  is  sometimes 
adopted  in  Denmark.  When  the  foliage  and  flowers  of  the  plant  have  been 
destroyed  in  October,  the  stalks  are  cut  down  about  a  foot  from  the  ground,  and 
the  earth  drawn  up  round  with  a  hoe.  They  stand  thus  until  the  beginning  of 
November,  (unless  the  cold  should  be  so  severe  as  to  endanger  the  roots,)  that 
the  tubers  may  become  as  ripe  as  possible  ;  they  are  then  dug  up  and  placed  in  a 
trench  in  the  garden,  with  earth  between  them,  and  a  layer  of  earth  over  them. 
A  covering  of  sea -weed,  horse  manure  or  leaves,  is  then  thrown  over,  sufficient 
to  exclude  the  frost.  Here  they  remain  until  the  time  of  planting  in  spring. 
Dahlias  thus  wintered  grow  mucli  stronger  than  those  kept  in  the  common 
manner.     It  is  necessary  that  a  diy  spot  be  selected  for  their  winter  location.

AZALEA  BELGIC^,  INDIC^  AND  SINENSIS. 
The  greatest  attention  has  been  paid  to  a  selection  of  the  most  splendid 
varieties  of  the  above  classes  of  the  Azalea  family,  and  the  collection  now 
comprises  above  200  varieties,  the  most  brilliant  in  color,  and  beautiful  in 
development,  a  distinct  Catalogue  of  which  is  now  in  preparation  for  amateurs. 
Twelve  varieties,  half  of  the  Indica,  and  half  of  )he  Belgian  varieties,  will  be 
supplied  for  $8.     Twenty-five  varieties  for  $'12, 

FRUIT  TREES  OF  NEW  AND  RARE  VARIETIES. 

lu  addition  to  the  immense  assortment  of  the  choicest  Fruits  of  every  class 
embraced  in  the  32d  edition  of  the  General  Catalogue,  we  have  obtained  all  the 
other  noted  Belgic  varieties  originated  by  Professor  Van  Mons  and  others,  and 
all  the  most  select  varieties  recently  noticed  and  recommended  by  the  London, 
and  other  European  Horticultural  Societies,  and  also  every  superior  variety 
comprised  in  the  collection  of  the  late  Robert  Manning,  a  Supplementary 
Catalogue  of  which  will  be  sent  to  those  who  desire  it,  and  grafts  as  well  as 
trees  will  be  supplied. 

In  all  cases.  Specimen  Trees  are  planted  in  our  experimental  orchards,  and  as 
nearly  all  the  varieties  contained  in  our  Catalogues  have  borne  fruit  and  been 
thus  proven  in  our  grounds,  and  many  of  them  also  in  the  grounds  of  our  late 
esteemed  friend  Robert  Manning,  between  whom  and  ourselves  a  continual 
correspondence  has  existed  on  the  subject  of  our  mutual  experiments  and 
discoveries,  we  do  not  hesitate  to  pronounce  our  collection  of  Fruits  as 
unrivalled  in  accuracy  and  in  excellence  by  any  other  in  this  country  or  in 
Europe. 

We  have  prepared  explanatory  notes  as  to  the  qualities  of  the  various  fruits, 
which  we  shall  give  to  the  public  ere  long  in  a  condensed  work,  far  more  com- 
prehensive and  at  less  expense  than  any  work  on  Pomology  that  has  ever  yet 
appeared. 

PRICES  OF  THE  VARIOUS  ARTICLES. 
It  is  well  known  that  there  exists  a  considerable  variation  in  the  prices 
charged  at  the  different  Nurseries  of  the  Union,  and  it  is  the  determination  of 
the  Proprietors  of  this  Establishment  to  supply  all  articles  as  cheap,  and  in  most 
cases  much  cheaper  than  than  they  are  obtainable  elsewhere.  It  should  neverthe- 
less be  understood  that  a  similarity  or  diminution  in  price  does  not  in  all  cases 
constitute  cheapness.  The  first  question  to  be  considered  by  the  purchaser  is  the 
genuineness  of  the  articles,  and  this  especially  applies  to  Fruits,  and  to  the  most 
rare  and  valuable  Flowering  Shrubs  and  Plants.  The  second  question  should 
refer  to  the  size  and  vigor  of  the  respective  Trees  and  Plants,  there  being  an 
important  difference  to  the  purchaser  whether  these  are  well  grown  and  of 

E roper  size,  or  on  the  other  hand  mere  offsets  or  small  specimens.  It  is  in  these 
ighly  important  points  that  this  ancient  Establishment  possesses  preeminent 
advantages,  derived  from  the  abundant  stock  of  strong  and  well-grown  Trees 
aud  Shrubbery,  and  also  from  the  opportunities  which  time  and  investigation 
have  afforded  for  proving  the  accuracy  and  excellence  of  the  Fruits,  and  the 
beauty  and  value  of  the  Ornamental  Shrubs,  &c.  We  have  only  further  to  say 
that  it  is  our  determination  that  those  who  may  deal  extensively  with  us,  shall 
find  it  to  their  interest  to  do  so,  as  well  m  regard  to  the  prices  charged,  as  in 
many  other  important  particulars. 

CIRCULAR  TO  THE  PROPRIETORS  OF  NURSERIES. 
In  addition  to  the  Ti^es,  Shrubbery,  &c.  of  all  kinds  enumerated  in  our 
Catalogues,  which  are  offered  to  you  of  the  usual  size  at  a  liberal  discount  from 
the  regular  prices,  we  have  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  less  size,  from  one 
year's  growth  upwards,  which  we  will  sell  at  diminished  rates  in  proportion 
thereto.  Where  the  quantity  taken  is  large  and  not  less  than  than  12,  or  at  the 
least  6  of  any  one  kind,  the  proportionate  trouble  being  thereby  lessened,  the 
prices  will  be  put  at  the  lowest  rates.  The  same  arrangement  will  be  applied  to 
all  articles  in  the  other  departments,  and  a  Catalogue  rated  according  to  size  and 
quantity  will  be  s«nt  to  applicants. 

CAUTION.— A  person  by  the  name  of  Winter,  and  another  by  the  name  of 
Garretson,  have  been  making  use  of  the  title  of  this  Establishment  without  any 
authority,  and  the  public  are  cautioned  against  the  deception.
